Forest Lawn Cemetery, Memorial cemetery in Cathedral City, United States.
Forest Lawn Cemetery is a memorial cemetery and mausoleum in Cathedral City, United States, where groomed lawns alternate between covered structures and open burial sections. Flat grave markers rest at ground level in geometric rows, while raised mausoleums with crypts stand at several points across the property.
The cemetery was developed as part of a larger network modeled after California memorial parks. After its incorporation, several mausoleums and themed sections were added to serve different religious and secular burial preferences.
The name Sanctuary of Faith and Hope appears on red granite surfaces along interior walls where side-by-side crypts were designed for couples. The chapel shows simple interior furnishings with wooden benches used during memorial services.
The cemetery opens at 8 AM and closes at sunset, giving visitors daylight hours to walk through the different sections. The buildings with offices and chapels remain accessible on weekdays until 5 PM.
The mausoleum positioned between two older structures catches late daylight through side windows that fall on marble walls. Visitors often notice the different stone tones across the three adjacent buildings.
